    Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of two or more devices or nodes or terminals with wireless communications and networking capability that communicate with each other without the aid of any centralized administrator also the wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange information without using any existing fixed network infrastructure. And it's an autonomous system in which mobile hosts connected by wireless links are free to be dynamically and some time act as routers at the same time, and we discuss in this paper the distinct characteristics of traditional wired networks, including network configuration may change at any time, there is no direction or limit the movement and so on, and thus needed a new optional path Agreement (Routing Protocol) to identify nodes for these actions communicate with each other path, An ideal choice way the agreement should not only be able to find the right path, and the Ad Hoc Network must be able to adapt to changing network of this type at any time. and we talk in details in this paper all the information of Mobile Ad Hoc Network which include the History of ad hoc, wireless ad hoc, wireless mobile approaches and types of mobile ad Hoc networks, and then we present more than 13 types of the routing Ad Hoc Networks protocols have been proposed. In this paper, the more representative of routing protocols, analysis of individual characteristics and advantages and disadvantages to collate and compare, and present the all applications or the Possible Service of Ad Hoc Networks.Comment: 24 Pages, JGraph-Hoc Journa

    Digital Democracy: Episode IV—A New Hope*: How a Corporation for Public Software Could Transform Digital Engagement for Government and Civil Society

    Although successive generations of digital technology have become increasingly powerful in the past 20 years, digital democracy has yet to realize its potential for deliberative transformation. The undemocratic exploitation of massive social media systems continued this trend, but it only worsened an existing problem of modern democracies, which were already struggling to develop deliberative infrastructure independent of digital technologies. There have been many creative conceptions of civic tech, but implementation has lagged behind innovation. This article argues for implementing one such vision of digital democracy through the establishment of a public corporation. Modeled on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in the United States, this entity would foster the creation of new digital technology by providing a stable source of funding to nonprofit technologists, interest groups, civic organizations, government, researchers, private companies, and the public. Funded entities would produce and maintain software infrastructure for public benefit. The concluding sections identify what circumstances might create and sustain such an entity

    Compendium of Applications Technology Satellite user experiments

    The achievements of the user experiments performed with ATS satellites from 1967 to 1973 are summarized. Included are fixed and mobile point to point communications experiments involving voice, teletype and facsimile transmissions. Particular emphasis is given to the Alaska and Hawaii satellite communications experiments. The use of the ATS satellites for ranging and position fixing of ships and aircraft is also covered. The structure and operating characteristics of the various ATS satellite are briefly described

    A UAV-Based Content Delivery Architecture for Rural Areas and Future Smart Cities

    Full text link
    [EN] Content delivery in vehicular environments can serve multiple purposes, such as safety, entertainment, and news delivery that can be geographically relevant to vehicles traveling within a certain area. The traditional approach to address this problem, based on fixed networking infrastructure, suffers from the following two drawbacks: First, the efficient delivery of large-sized contents to multiple moving receivers simultaneously can be hard to achieve, and second, most of the roads outside the main urban areas lack such fixed infrastructures due to economic reasons. In this paper, we tackle both these issues by proposing rapidly deployable wireless access infrastructures combining RaptorQ-protected content diffusion and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We performed experiments using actual vehicles and UAVs, and our results showed that RaptorQ-based content dissemination mechanisms is highly efficient when transmitting to multiple moving receivers simultaneously, and UAVs can serve as cheap, effective, and rapidly deployable mobile wireless access elements.Ortiz-Mayordomo, S.; Tavares De Araujo Cesariny Calafate, CM.; Cano, J.; Manzoni, P.; Toh, C.

    TOW ARDS NEW TECHNIQUES IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS TO SERVE LARGE USER POPULATIONS

    Get PDF
    An account is given in this paper of the industry oriented research at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in the past five years in the field of Public Telecommunications and Telematics. Actual and realistically anticipated needs of the users are briefly surveyed at the outset. Facts and views, concerning specific projects and underlying methodologies, are considered. The paper was presented at a symposium, held at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, April 19 and 20, 1983 as part of the bicentennary events at the Technical University of Budapest

    Economically sustainable public security and emergency network exploiting a broadband communications satellite

    Get PDF
    The research contributes to work in Rapid Deployment of a National Public Security and Emergency Communications Network using Communication Satellite Broadband. Although studies in Public Security Communication networks have examined the use of communications satellite as an integral part of the Communication Infrastructure, there has not been an in-depth design analysis of an optimized regional broadband-based communication satellite in relation to the envisaged service coverage area, with little or no terrestrial last-mile telecommunications infrastructure for delivery of satellite solutions, applications and services. As such, the research provides a case study of a Nigerian Public Safety Security Communications Pilot project deployed in regions of the African continent with inadequate terrestrial last mile infrastructure and thus requiring a robust regional Communications Satellite complemented with variants of terrestrial wireless technologies to bridge the digital hiatus as a short and medium term measure apart from other strategic needs. The research not only addresses the pivotal role of a secured integrated communications Public safety network for security agencies and emergency service organizations with its potential to foster efficient information symmetry amongst their operations including during emergency and crisis management in a timely manner but demonstrates a working model of how analogue spectrum meant for Push-to-Talk (PTT) services can be re-farmed and digitalized as a “dedicated” broadband-based public communications system. The network’s sustainability can be secured by using excess capacity for the strategic commercial telecommunication needs of the state and its citizens. Utilization of scarce spectrum has been deployed for Nigeria’s Cashless policy pilot project for financial and digital inclusion. This effectively drives the universal access goals, without exclusivity, in a continent, which still remains the least wired in the world

    Mobile Databases: a Selection of Open Issues and Research Directions

    International audienceThis paper reports on the main results of a specific action on mobile databases conducted by CNRS in France from October 2001 to December 2002. The objective of this action was to review the state of progress in mobile databases and identify major research directions for the French database community. Rather than provide a survey of all important issues in mobile databases, this paper gives an outline of the directions in which the action participants are now engaged, namely: copy synchronization in disconnected computing, mobile transactions, database embedded in ultra-light devices, data confidentiality, P2P dissemination models and middleware adaptability
